Unearthing People from the SaND: Relationship Discovery with Social Media in the Enterprise

The popularity of social media across the Internet results in people-centric data sources that users can potentially leverage for relationship discovery tasks. In this paper, we describe SaNDVis, a visual system that supports tasks like expertise location, team building, and team coordination in the enterprise. By integrating social position, evidence, and facets into SaNDVis, we demonstrate how users can reflect on existing relationships as well as build new relationships in an enterprise setting.
